Hurt feelings

Can people on an internet chat forum hurt your feelings?

 

If you expose your feelings to being hurt then yes.

 

yes.

 

I personally take what goes on here with a pinch of salt. I do ge annoyed, even angry sometimes, but not hurt.

Maybe I'm heartless or thick-skinned, or both.

 

A very select small group of people on the internet whom I actually consider friends could potentially hurt me if they really really try to.

Other than that... man, gettin' your feelings hurt by strangers just ain't good for the soul. One's gotta be tougher than that.

 

Unfortunately yes.

 

Yip, but not to the same extent somebody in real life who actually knows me can.

 

I mean. I do take what people say at face value. I enjoy discussions, even heated ones, but I know it takes quite a bit to hurt my feelings. And I have to first allow it to happen.

 

I've learned that in one way or another my being hurt is related to someone not measuring up to a standard I had set for them or otherwise not being agreeable when I had stuck the idea in my head that it was their job to agree with me. The hurt tends to reflect a level of selfishness in me and points to character flaws that I need to deal with. We all like to think we can control or at least predict how people around us will act and when they break that unwritten rule we can feel hurt. Just some introspective observation.

 

Most people's feelings seem to be extremely easy to hurt, both in real life and over the internet. Makes me want to hurt them just so that those people toughen up a bit.

Life's too damn easy for people here in Gringolandia.

 

My inner sense tells me that this is about to change in a BIG way.

 

I hope that it does.

All the chaos would be very entertaining to watch.

 

Meh, I'm going to go with no.. it takes a lot, I mean A LOT to hurt my feelings... especially if it's over the internet..

People who are close to me or who I care about are ones that are capable of hurting my feelings...
Strangers have no affect on my feelings whatsoever...

 

i don't really feel any shame that people can hurt my feelings. i don't run away, i don't refuse to feel and i'm not goin to let you people make me feel bad about that.

 

You have hurt my feelings.

 

only one time it happend...so its not easily done. it happened a couple years ago - was real personal...but i got over it quickly.

 

Only the ones that I consider friends.

 

yes. for many reasons.. being mean to me. being mean to others..

i've had 2 e-friends die.. i cried both times

i've cried when e-friends gave birth.. cried when they got married..

i'ma crybaby! :crybaby:

 

listen, i'm recovering from 28 years of emotional constipation. the pendulum still swings wide, you know?

 

No, because there's no one here that's close enough to me and knows me enough to hurt me.
